Wang's little lady

Chapter 39 Argument
It was getting late, Fusheng and Juhua were pushing the trolley to go back. My father and mother must have been waiting impatiently at home.

Hongdou followed Zhang to the kitchen and wrapped the braised pig's trotters and braised peanuts that had been set aside separately.

Pass it to the two of them and ask them to take it back to their cousin and aunt to taste.

Before leaving, Hongdou suddenly remembered something and pulled Juhua aside and chirped for a while.

Xiaoya took advantage of her inability to speak and ran over to listen blatantly.

Others could only see Dai Hua's eyes on one side, glaring from time to time.

Everyone was very curious, what were these two secretly talking about?
"Hongdou, what are you two talking about? It's getting late, and Juhua should go back so that the road won't be difficult."

After hearing Granny Xie's words, the two finally returned to their respective places.

"Cousin, remember what I just said."

"Also, bring your cousin with you next time. His legs need to be looked at by a doctor."

Juhua took Hongdou's advice to heart and nodded solemnly.

After watching Juhua and the others walk out of the alley, Hongdou and the others turned around and entered the door.

"Grandma, mother, let me take Xiaoya to grind peas." Finish the work early and let everyone rest early.

Mrs. Xie was cleaning up the kitchen with Mrs. Zhang.

Hearing this, he hurriedly walked out: "You'd better stop doing it, so as not to cause trouble with the donkey again. I'll take Xiaoya and do it."

This donkey has a bit of a temper. What if he loses his temper?

Hongdou glanced at the donkey walking in the yard after eating, and thought that grandma was right.

Anyway, it’s mainly donkey work, so Grandma and Xiaoya won’t be too tired.

"Then I'll go help mother clean up the kitchen, and I'll replace you when I come out later."

After Hongdou entered the kitchen, he wiped the water stains from the dishes with a dry cloth, put them in the cupboard, and said while working:

"Mom, the Ghost Festival is coming soon. Should we buy some paper money candles and go to the grave to worship my father?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her hand movements slowed down a little.

"Yeah, I have to go. Stop working on this. I'll just find some time to prepare things."

It's also a good idea for the head of the family to see that the family is doing well now. The son, daughter, and mother-in-law are all well, and they have even added more people.

"By the way, my dear, the pig's trotters and pork ribs are so delicious when they are braised today. How about we sell them together?"

"There are just a lot of bones, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them at a high price."

Many people only buy pig's trotters stew to stimulate breast milk when someone in the family is pregnant.

If the conditions are not that bad, they will also buy some pork belly to eat.

After all, there is still oil and water in the meat.

"Listen to me, mother. Let's add more to sell. We'll marinate the pig's trotters to make them softer and shave the bones before selling them. Forget about the ribs."

"If we want to eat it, we can buy it and eat it."

As long as the braised pig's trotters are well braised and soft, it is easy for men, women and children to accept.

And she doesn’t want to be cheap in terms of price. After all, after shaving off the bones of the pig’s trotters, there will be much less meat. With labor, the work cannot be in vain.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy after hearing this. The family had another income. Now she wants to sell whatever she thinks is delicious.

"Hey, I'll tell your grandma later. If anyone goes out to buy pigs in the future, they will also buy the pig's trotters."

"Okay, you can just arrange it. By the way, what do you think of the braised peanuts?"

This is also a good dish to go with wine. For those who are reluctant to buy braised meat, you can buy some braised peanuts and take them back. The taste is the same anyway.

Braised peanuts will definitely be sold cheaper than other braised foods.

"That's right, braised peanuts are also added. Just mix the ingredients and mom will do it. You two are still young, so you should sleep more in the morning."

The more Zhang thought about it, the happier she became.

They are old and weak women and children in the eyes of others. There are no men to support them, and there are countless people around who are laughing.

She didn't want to be around anyone.

Now that things are changing, how many families in the neighborhood earn more than hers every day?

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Mom is not working hard, she is very happy."

The next day.Mrs. Zhang got up early to make breakfast, and Mrs. Xie went out to get the pigs that had been ordered yesterday.

The market in the morning is very lively, and hardworking people get up early to work.

The early bird catches the worm, and early risers also get better and fresher meat.

After Mrs. Xie arrived, she waited for a while.

"Butcher Zhou, I'm here to get the pigs I ordered yesterday. By the way, I want all the pig's trotters on your stall too."

After Mrs. Xie said that, she took out the money. She didn't think anything would go wrong as she had agreed in advance.

As a result, she took out the money and handed it to Butcher Zhou, but he hesitated and refused to accept it.

"What's going on with you? You have the money, but you don't want any money?"

Mrs. Xie felt that this person was a bit stupid today. Who wouldn't just put the money away when they saw it?

"Auntie, this... is..."

Butcher Zhou was hesitating for a long time, even if he couldn't say a complete sentence, he had a guilty expression on his face, and he didn't dare to look at Granny Xie.

"No, Butcher Zhou, what do you mean? Tell me what you have to say, what does a grown man look like?"

A butcher, with such a big head, looks like this, but he is not a woman.

Butcher Zhou opened his mouth for a long time, but he still didn't have the nerve to say it.

At this time, Ms. Zheng, the daughter-in-law of Butcher Zhou, came over.

He pulled Butcher Zhou behind him and said, "Auntie, here you are, this man is really stupid. I've prepared some for you. I'll get it for you."

"Well, go ahead, I want all the pig's trotters on this board too. Pay us together."

"Okay, aunt, it'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon."

Mrs. Zheng is naturally overjoyed. This woman has bought everything that is not easy to sell. How can she not be happy?

He immediately went to the back of the house and took out all the prepared pig water and pig heads.

"Auntie, please take it, there are 72 coins in total."

Mrs. Xie's hand that handed over the money suddenly paused, and then she took it back.

"You think I'm old and confused because I'm old? This pile of things looks like a lot, but what parts are they in? Do you know?"

"Even if you add four pig's trotters, it won't cost you 72 yuan."

The more Mrs. Xie talked about it, the angrier she became. It was so easy to get so many copper coins. This person could really do it.

Butcher Zhou was a little embarrassed when he heard this and called his mother-in-law, hoping that she would leave it alone.

But how could Zheng be willing?

She secretly visited Xie's stall and saw that the business was very good. At the end of the day, he might earn more than her family.

Moreover, she also inquired with people nearby and found that during noon every day, most of the family's belongings were sold.

The popular braised food is made with her pig offal and pig head meat.

"No way, auntie, look, this pig goes into the water for 25 cents, the pig's head is 32 cents, the four pig's trotters are 72 cents, it's not [-] cents. Right?"

"I've put your things on, please take them."

Zheng said naturally, without mentioning the sudden price increase at all.

"No, haven't you always bought a pig's head for ten cents a piece? The last time I bought a pig's head, it was twenty cents."

"Why are you so dishonest in your business? I just saw it from the side. The price of pork is the same as usual. There is no reason for you to raise the price separately for these things that are not usually easy to sell."

Granny Xie said angrily.

She didn't expect that there would be such a thing when she came to pick up things today. Fortunately, she paid attention to the price of other people's meat while waiting.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be cheated out of money for nothing?

Mrs. Zheng didn't panic when she saw Mrs. Xie's attitude. "Auntie, isn't the Hungry Ghost Festival coming soon? Many people want to use pig heads to worship, but the price will go up."

"As for the pig's waste, although it is not as good as good meat, poor people will also buy it as a tooth sacrifice."

"When my man sold it before, I didn't pay attention, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it for just ten cents."

"You guys took advantage in the beginning."
